Why 7.2: The 2JZ made it a tuning legend; the auction era made it a safe-queen. Unmodified cars now trade as instruments of nostalgia — mileage collapses the moment one crosses six figures.

The long version

There are really two Supra populations now: modified cars still living the tuner-culture life they were built for, and unmodified, low-mile examples that auction houses have taught owners to treat as a retirement account with a turbo. The second group is what is dragging the score down; six-figure sale prices do not happen to cars that get driven to the drag strip on weekends. Values have climbed sixfold since 2000 with most of that in the last decade, a curve steep enough that even owners who intended to drive it start hedging. No badges attach because it is genuinely split down the middle.
